Representation Of Teenagers (Stereotypes)

Stereotype (brief definition):

'a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing'.

Are teenagers represented in a fair way in the media?

Find a variety of images representing the  typical teenager. Is it easy to find positive images or are most of them negative? What are the reasons for this?

Research Task:

1. Collect a range of images (at least 10) of teenagers, both positive and negative. Make a mood board or poster using these images. (use Photoshop). Print out and stick in your book.
2. Find three news articles which involve teenagers. Copy and paste the headline and relevant text from these. Print out and stick in your book.
3. Using these images and articles as your evidence. Write in your book about what you think are the key stereotypes that teenagers have to cope with? Do you think these are fair? In your opinion are teenagers represented accurately in the media? Give reasons for your answers.

Extension Task:

Can you think of anywhere in the media where teenagers are presented in a really positive light.

Add this to your work to try and balance your argument about teenage stereotyping.
